In a recent interview that stirred up both curiosity and controversy, Tucker Carlson sat across from none other than Alex Jones—yes, the conspiracy theorist himself—for a deep dive into some of the most infamous claims surrounding the September 11 attacks.
Rather than focusing on mainstream narratives, Carlson leaned hard into the idea that Jones may have “called it” before it ever happened. And things only got wilder from there.
Carlson Suggests Jones Saw 9/11 Coming Before It Happened
During their conversation, Carlson pointed to an old broadcast from the summer of 2001—months before the attacks—where Jones allegedly warned that the U.S. government might stage a terrorist attack and pin the blame on Osama bin Laden.
Jones referenced what he called a “controlled bombing” orchestrated by the government, and said his archives could show he predicted a CIA-planned attack in the months leading up to 9/11.
Carlson, clearly taken aback, called it “the most amazing fact” he’d ever heard, emphasizing how strange it was that no government investigator ever reached out to Jones.
Diving Into the “Inside Job” Claim
Jones didn’t hold back on his long-standing belief that 9/11 was an inside job.
He repeated claims that bin Laden was essentially a puppet used by Western intelligence and that U.S. agencies were tracking the hijackers, who he claims were even being trained at U.S. military facilities.
Carlson seemed both bewildered and intrigued, repeatedly asking how someone who was, at the time, broadcasting from a fringe cable access show could possibly predict something so specific.
Jones credited a mix of media patterns, cultural intuition, and even TV shows like The X-Files and The Lone Gunmen, which he said were influenced by the CIA.
Jones Says the Government Tried to “Destroy” Him
Carlson floated the idea that the government may have intentionally tried to ruin Jones because of these predictions.
He mentioned how Jones was the only person who publicly forecasted such an event and yet was completely ignored by investigators after it happened.
Jones, unsurprisingly, agreed, and suggested that he had been targeted for speaking what he believed was the truth.
He also made the bold claim that he predicted the assassination of Donald Trump—though there was no elaboration or evidence offered during the interview.
The Bankruptcy Battle Over Infowars
All of this comes at a time when Jones is in the middle of a desperate legal fight to keep Infowars afloat.
His company is currently battling bankruptcy proceedings and may be forced to sell off the platform.
One bidder, First United American Companies, has offered over $7 million to take over the Infowars site and its nutritional supplement business.
That’s more than double the $1.75 million bid made last year by Global Tetrahedron—the parent company of satirical outlet The Onion, which had plans to boot Jones and turn Infowars into a parody site.
A federal judge, however, stopped the sale to The Onion, citing issues with the transparency of the process and confusion over the true value of the bid.
Now, both parties are expected to submit new offers.
A Tragic Twist: Infowars Reporter Killed in Texas
Adding to the chaos, tragedy struck Jones’ circle earlier this year.
Jamie White, a longtime Infowars reporter, was found mortally wounded outside his apartment in south Austin.
The case has been ruled a homicide, though police have not released details about a suspect or a motive.
Jones, true to form, went on the offensive. In an emotional rant, he accused local authorities and progressive political figures—including Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza and billionaire George Soros—of creating the social environment that led to White’s death.
He called them “accomplices to murder” and accused them of targeting patriotic voices.
The Ongoing Controversy That Is Alex Jones
Alex Jones has long been at the center of controversy, especially following the staggering $1.5 billion in defamation judgments handed down after he falsely claimed the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax.
Now, as he fights to save his media empire and clear his name, his platform is once again making headlines—with Carlson giving him the mic this time.
Whether you view Jones as a prophet, a provocateur, or a conspiracy-peddling menace, this latest interview shows that he’s not backing down anytime soon—and neither is the debate around him.
